Hi! This is the donations page for Enabling Aden. We are located in Aden, Yemen.

-Who we are? A team young people engineers and medical professionals. We help giving e-Nable 3D printed hands (and hopefully, legs in the future, we are investigating that and we will figure it out).

We have a strong track record, more than 10 people have received prosthesis. Some of them received more than one iteration.

Why do we need your support?

We have been operating with only one printer. we have been self-funded so far but we cannot expand further without your help. Our list of recipients is growing bigger and we are stretching our resources thin. People cannot really pay for these prosthesis due to the current situation and we don't charge any money.

Why is a it is a little bit harder for us?

Yemen is going through civil war and economic blockade, plus the miserable electricity service. We figured this out so far and we need to expand to give something useful to people.

What are we going to do with the money?

We want to buy more printers, filaments, 3D scanner and UPS system with solar panels.

Help me help young people in the community who want to be staff or attendees of e-NABLE STEM Summer 2018 programs at camps, libraries, makerspaces, and more, and encourage them to share their perspectives, facilitator summaries and research in papers, posters and presentations this year in conferences and community publications. Together we can ensure that in 2018 we will help more people faster, create collaborative volunteer groups that include mentors and recipients, and by mentoring volunteers from the start of projects to sharing with the community, the whole e-NABLE community will grow.

Hi all,

I wanted to do something good and make the world a better place. When I found out that young people in the e-NABLE Community want e-NABLE 2018 STEM Summer camps, activities and trips where they will work on design, creation and/or distribution of devices and research activities.,
I knew I had to help.

That's why I created a fundraiser to support the e-NABLE Alliance and their campaign to
organize STEM e-NABLE activities/workshops and extended programs.

Short programs conduct outreach, including distribution of devices and gathering feedback; others teach basic skills needed and build up to programs teaching the community how to work with old and new device designs.

Day camps will enroll 6-10 children working with a team of 3 youth, 1 adult and 1 educator as team mentors.

Teams of students and adults volunteering in field projects/mission trips in the US and overseas will help young people get devices faster and teach people to repair and modify designs to make devices for themselves and others, and collect and share feedback data that will boost design development.

These projects will grow the whole e-NABLE community and have a lasting legacy - a huge return on anything we can invest! More people will get the arms and hands they need, for free! More people will get access to technology and mentoring. More volunteers will learn about the 5 new designs shared with the community on 12/16 at the e-NABLE Alliance Retreat and Conference, EnableCon2017. More people will be working on projects with the goal of sharing at EnableCon 2018.

If you are wondering how you can make a difference this year, or looking for a community like no other, look what the e-NABLE community has been doing for the past 5 years and consider what this summer programming can do.

Giving online is easy and fast, and your support will make a real difference. I appreciate your help!

I just started a fundraiser for enablealliance! Help me reach my goal to organize short summer STEM e-NABLE activities/workshops and extended programs. Short programs conduct outreach, including distribution of devices and gathering feedback; others teach basic skills needed and build up to programs teaching the community how to work with old and new device designs. Day camps will enroll 6-10 children working with a team of 3 youth, 1 adult and 1 educator as team mentors. A team of students and adults volunteering in IRB approved research will oversee creation of devices for 100 children in an IRB study exploring adoption and design of upsized devices as recipients grow. : #hashtag

Hi [Donor Name],

Thank you so much for your generous donation to our fundraising campaign to help the e-NABLE Alliance launch Summer STEM programs for kids. Because of you, we'll be able to helping make and gift devices faster to people who need them, and grow the whole community.

Short activities will conduct outreach, including distribution of devices and gathering feedback; others will teach basic skills needed and build up to programs teaching the community how to work with old and new device designs.

Day camps will enroll 6-10 children working with a team of 3 youth, 1 adult and 1 educator as team mentors.

Youth and adults on extended field experiences/mission trips will participate on printing, assembly, distribution and field research in the US and overseas.

By galvanizing around supporting youth programs this summer, we can launch initiatives that support the community throughout the year:

Create collaborative teams, train them to use emerging technologies and use current design files in the community, in leadership, teaching, mentoring, field readiness, citizen science and sharing research as authors, presenters and science journal editors.

Create videos and program facilitator guides for chapters and educators to use year round.

Continue the printer status Open Data project during the summer break.

Help youth prepare to be presenters, authors of posters and papers in e-NABLE's publications and at conferences. Increase the number of devices modified or created and tested and shared as Open Source files..

You're not only helping planners secure facilities, materials, start training and open registration. By supporting our program goals, you're helping people get devices faster. You are making a real difference for young people in the community who want to be staff or attendees of e-NABLE STEM Summer 2018 programs at camps, libraries, makerspaces, and more,

You are also starting them on a path as emerging scientists. We will encourage them to share their perspectives, facilitator summaries and research in papers, posters and presentations this year in conferences and community publications.

Together we can ensure that in 2018 makes the most of its opportunities to grow and serve.

This is such a worthy cause and I'm proud that we're on the same team.

We'll keep you posted on our progress. In the meantime, I recommend that you check out the enablealliance.org site. They're doing great work.

Thanks again for your donation!
